Artist History Harmony drenched, hook-laden, anthemic indie rock songs abound on the new release, Harmony and Discord, from Darby Jones. With a home base of Northern New Jersey, Darby Jones draw from New York City sophistication and down to earth New Jersey realism to produce catchy pop melodies with intricate arrangements and at times, gritty rock power. Harmony and Discord was recorded by John Seymour at Big Blue Meanie in Jersey City, NJ and at Sony Studios in New York City. Lyrically, the songs on the album communicate sincerity and conviction with topics that pull from everyday life sung by lead vocalist and guitarist Nick Cavagnaro and bassist Rob Chojnacki who shares lead vocals and adds pitch perfect harmonies. Rob describes the band’s writing process as emotional therapy. “I try to communicate things that I just don’t talk about normally, and the music becomes my only outlet for these things.” Drummer Seth Masarsky adds, “We also derive some of our lyrics from the experiences we’ve had living in suburbia. We deal with a lot of issues and imagery that comes with that.” Darby Jones cut their teeth making a homemade debut record in 1999 and playing a slew of regional shows. The band quickly gained a diehard following and has become one of New Jersey’s most popular club acts. In 2002, they appeared on compilations from Artist Amplification and Reinforcement Records. The group has played extensively in the Northeast and has shared stages with the Strokes, Ultimate Fakebook, Longwave, and in a somewhat surreal gig experience, Rod Stewart. The recent line-up addition of guitarist Steve Sabet has bolstered the group by adding solid textures and passionate playing to the mix. The band has appeared at such festivals as the CMJ Music Marathon, International Pop Overthrow, MacRock 2000, and the Independent Music Fest
